Thrifting Adventures in Spain #3

I spoke about the best €4 I’ve spent ever here, now I need to introduce you to the best €3 I’ve ever spent - my fringed Navajo bag. I love everything about this bag, the colour, the fringing and it’s big enough to store all my goodies. Here I’ve worn it with an aqua vest (singlet) from H&M and vintage high waisted shorts. Also, don’t you love the backdrop? Barcelona is a hub for the graffiti and street art scene where you will find huge, colourful characters, scenes, and messages on the most unsuspecting walls or storefronts.

Thrifting Adventures in Spain #2

Probably the best €4 I’ve spent, ever. This is why I love thrifting so much, you can find some absolute incredible things for a steal. I spotted this mid-length pastel printed skirt tucked away from view and I knew it had to be mine. Here I’ve worn it with a white, cropped Topshop vest (singlet), brown belt and the perfect accessory - a frozen yogurt topped with strawberries and nuts – yum yum.

Valencia, Spain

Valencia is one place that I’ve been dying to visit for the last two years, and I’m so glad I did. From the beautiful building facades, the fabulous Estación Del Norte (probably the most incredible train station I have seen) and you cannot go past the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences complex.

Here I'm wearing my favourite coral blouse that I bought in Newquay. I've paired it with nudie cut-off short shorts that I made from jeans that I don't wear anymore.

Thrifting Adventures in Spain #1

Firstly, I must apologise for the lack of blog posts. The last few weeks have been quite hectic and considering I haven’t been in one city or town in Spain for longer than three nights, it’s quite hard to find a quiet moment. Which is why I’ve decided to spend a few nights in Sitges in the Costa Blanca and catch up on some much-needed blogging.

Before I left Barcelona today, I happened to stumble upon the most unassuming thrift store and had, the most successful day thrifting, to date. I have been searching high and low to find any kind of thrift or charity store in Spain since my adventure started three weeks ago with no luck, however, I must say that today was certainly worth the wait.

Today I came across a cream mid length dress with embroidered top and a pleated skirt, and I am in love. Ever since I saw Kate Hudson in that blue Emilio Pucci mini, I have been lusting for a bohemian embroidered dress and today was my lucky day. Here I’ve worn it with a tan high-waisted belt and Tophop flats. I will be posting my other buys soon!

In My Wardrobe : Thrifted Treasures

As promised, I’ve finally gotten around to taking some snaps of my thrifted purchases from my weekend away in Newquay. One of the main things I love about travelling is finding hidden vintage or charity stores and Newquay definitely did not disappoint. I think I went into about six stores in total and found some incredibly amazing items all for 14 quid, including a long-line leather waistcoat – which I’ll add to my collection of other long-line waistcoats and two blouses, a coral and vanilla (which, if you follow me on twitter, I wore this week).  My boyfriend also found a hexagonal-shaped patent black bag that I’ll wear as a clutch bag on a night out. Newquay is definitely an untapped source when it comes to charity stores where finding hidden gems are not that hard at all.
